(some explicit language)
More important than humanity,
More important than dignity,
More important than life,
We worship you daily, how do you fare?
It is important that you are stable,
That we can rely on you—
There is nothing else to rely on.
We rely on you for security, keep us safe.
We rely on you for peace of mind, I am invested in you.
We rely on you for purpose, without you what would we do?
Question the legitimacy of other Gods, and rationale them away
Yet worship you we will, till our final day.
A greater construct than any divinity,
Created by ourselves for our own validity,
And we think we have control.
Some of you have been predestined to prosperity—
Your father’s wealth.
Most of us predestined to poverty—
Your father’s wealth.
Thy will be done of course, it is better this way.
So long as we worship you, we keep the status quo,
Protect those in power, they know better of course...
Fuck you.
Fuck you, economy.
My profanity: a sin (I take your name in vain).
Fuck you, economy.
What have you done for the world lately?
Consigned billions to:
- poverty
- hunger
- death
You let the rich sit in castles of glistening glass and steel
Reaching for the heavens, like one hundred towers of Babel.
While in the dirt below the masses seethe like waste,
Etching out a living, dust for bread, mud for wine.
So I will blaspheme, and walk a different path,
One not shadowed by dogma and religious zeal.
Count me among the excommunicated from your church of pillage.
